Product Insights
The Contemporaine Pure Linen V-Neck Cami is a Simons-exclusive, Canadian-designed reversible cami crafted from 100% Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ European linen, guaranteed rain-fed from France, Belgium, or Netherlands and audited by Bureau Veritas, using less water than cotton and producing a soft, long-staple hand that resists bagging and pilling while holding its crisp box pleat for a fluid A-line silhouette—though the relaxed fit and box pleat create an intended loose drape, lighter colors may be slightly sheer, the linen can shrink 3–5 per cent (mitigated by cold wash and air dry), and wrinkles appear natural due to the supple drape; available at $79 CAD from Simons' direct-retail model, it offers certified European linen at $29.95 that undercuts both Gap’s linen-blend and Quince’s European linen tank, but is currently out of stock.
Verified claims
- A-line drape
- Box pleat adds bust ease and A-line drape and stays crisp untucked.
- Double V-neck
- The cami is fully reversible due to identical V-necks front and back.
- Provenance
- 100% Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ linen guarantees flax from France, Belgium, or Netherlands, audited by Bureau Veritas.
- Water footprint
- Certified flax is grown without irrigation in most cases and is field-retted, with water retting strictly forbidden.
- Linen quality
- European long-staple linen yields softer hand, fluid drape, and crisp pleat retention.
- Water impact
- Rain-fed flax, field retted, uses less water than cotton.
- Hand feel
- Long-staple Masters of FLAX FIBRE linen delivers a soft hand and resists bagging over time.
- Silhouette
- A soft drape and a crisp box pleat create a fluid A-line silhouette.
- Relaxed fit sizing
- The relaxed fit is built into the pattern, but several reviewers found the cami runs large and recommend sizing down.
- Box pleat
- The centre box pleat creates an A-line that skims the torso without clinging.
- Linen fabric
- The lightweight linen drapes without tenting and wrinkles naturally.
- Brand heritage
- Simons-exclusive since 1961, Canadian-designed.
- Pricing model
- Regular $79 CAD from Simons' direct-retail private label model.
- Value
- At $29.95, it offers certified European linen for less than both Gap’s linen-blend and Quince’s European linen tank.
- Design
- Double V-neck, box pleat, and European long-staple linen deliver a structured, durable design.
- Brand integrity
- Established in 1961, designed in Canada, Masters of FLAX FIBRE certified for sustainable cultivation.
- Durability
- Resists bagging better than standard linen over time.
- Versatility
- Double V-neck and front box pleat allow wearing standalone or layered, forward or backward.
- Shrinkage
- Linen can shrink 3-5% after the first wash; cold wash and air dry minimize shrinkage, and the relaxed fit offers some buffer.
- Sheerness
- Lighter colors may be slightly sheer; darker colors are opaque.
- Wrinkle behavior
- Masters of FLAX FIBRE linen holds pleats crisply and resists bagging over time.
- Wrinkle appearance
- Supple drape and box pleat make wrinkles look natural and preserve silhouette.
- Care
- Cold wash and hang dry preserve fit and minimize shrinkage; iron or steam for a crisp look.
- Hot-weather wear
- The relaxed fit is built into the pattern to deliver a loose, breathable silhouette, and the back V-neck makes the cami suitable as a standalone piece on warm days.

Thin fabric
I expected a heavier linen which would hang better, arm holes are large, so for those 2 reasons an under garment is obligatory. The length is almost too short.
Have not worn this yet
Have not worn this yet but like the look and feel.
Frais
Joli,fait bien. Super agréable et versatile à porter j’ai lu un commentaire qui mentionnait que c’était fait grand. C’est exact normalement je porte L
Pretty in the crimson
Love the colour, but a little bulky in spare material on and below the bustline on me.
Belle coupe avantageuse !
Belle coupe ! Tissu léger. Cache bien la bedaine. Je suis une fan du lin et cette camisole me convient très bien. Si vous hésitez entre 2 tailles, je vous suggère la plus petite. En général, j'habille S ou M, mais pour les hauts en lin chez Simons, je porte du S.
Lightweight Dressy Top
I chose this linen top on purpose because it was lightweight. It is good for under gauze shirts that I have. I like the look of the pleat in front as it gives this top a more dressy look. It fits well as it is a big loose look. However I know that it would have been too big with my normal large/medium size so I chose small. The neckline and arm holes are perfect.
Attractive blouse
This is a nice blouse but material was thinner than I expected. Returned.
Linen top

Camisole en lin
L article parfait pour de chaude journée
Superbe camisole
Elle est confortable et très jolie.
Très chic et simple en même temps
Belle qualité de lin. Tombe fait grand . Pris une taille plus petit . Je me suis fiée à ça la charte des grandeurs.
Summer linen
I no longer wear any polyester in the summer months. Love the style, colour and loose, draping fit. I usually get an XL to fit bust size.
Beau mais. . .
J'ai dû le retourner le modèle n'était pas pour mon corps, à cause de ma poitrine, pourtant. . .
